Hmm. How does this explain the extreme prejudice of left-wingers, eh? Oh wait . . . (and ain't it funny how they use "studies" from a half-century ago??)

All anyone needs to do is take a trip through DU land and read the posts to see this study is a sham.

The above idiot alone makes the left less intelligent than the right.

What does ‘low intelligence’ mean?
To: Olog-hai
"The paper analyzed large UK studies which compared childhood intelligence with political views in adulthood across more than 15,000 people.
First of all, this was conducted in the UK, not the USA...such may be the case in the UK.
Once colleges and universities spray the liberal joy juice on the students, the "childhood intelligence" is wiped away and they become indocrinated, but educated, idiots.
If liberals are more intelligent, someone must be hiding those they polled in a bunker somewhere, because the liberals and lefties we see and hear daily are certainly not very good examples.
Bottom line: The mere fact that people think that socialism can actually WORK, shows a shallow and damaged intelligence.
You can't fix stupid...but you can give it a degree and it thinks it's smart.

I’d comment, but I lack the brain mass to understand this.

This how it is done: Open with this “and people with low childhood intelligence tend to grow up to have racist and anti-gay views, says a controversial new study.”
Just start by giving this definition to conservatives and the rest of the article writes itself.
Time, Newsweek, the Nation, NYT WP and all leftist publications follow the same formula. State the “fact,” then go from there.

Gosh, Leftists do a study and find that they are correct in their presumptions. What a shocker.

Just another step in the UK towards putting dissenters in “re-education camps.”
For their own good, of course.
The US will be following along presently.

So wait, people who are unintelligent gravitate to right-wing politics that preach self-reliance and independence as opposed to left-wing politics that promote big government solutions and welfare? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense...
You know, you can always rely on leftists to put out studies like this. They use them to prove they’re better than we are and more entitled to living. Look at the great abortionist leaders like Margaret Sanger who claimed blacks and other races were less intelligent and needed abortion to keep their numbers down. The left has always been fixated on crazy secularist/nihilist notions and Neitzche’s notion of the ubermenschen. That’s part of why they put out studies to try and prove they’re better than everyone else.

This was out a while ago. They considered people who didn't believe in global warming (which of course as any good liberal knows is as true as anything could possibly be) as STUPID. So, if you are conservative, and sceptical about man-made global warming you are...that's right...of low intelligence. This is the kind of logic these “geniuses” use.

If I ever found myself in a survival situation, I would want all “right-wingers” on my side. “Left-wingers” are idiots and depend too much on others always bailing them out.

Yes that Pol Pot was a real genius, wasn’t he? Stalin. Mao. Lenin. Marx.
Hell, look at the people’s paradise that is Cuba today. Need we more evidence of this study’s validity?
To: struggle
I wonder how smart they’ll feel when the global economic collapse occurs and the left doesn’t have guns.

As if living a good, moral life requires intelligence! Even a complete retard can tell right from wrong and do good in their life.
You want to talk about what makes a good person? Intelligence has nothing to do with it. It’s your character and your morals and how you treat others.
